Resource Article: Revving Up With High-Speed Wireless

By Brian Albright, Field Technologies magazine

With more powerful mobile computing devices entering the market and enterprises adding a wider variety of platforms (smartphones, tablets, rugged PDAs), companies need more wireless network capacity than ever before to support increasingly feature-rich mobile applications. Wireless carriers have responded by expanding coverage and boosting network speeds, but their enterprise customers have continued to up the wireless ante.

"Smartphones and tablets introduced over the past year generally have faster processors, higher screen resolution, and more multifunctionality features," says Christopher Hill, vice president of advanced mobility solutions at AT&T. "Business customers are benefiting from advanced mobility solutions, such as location-based services, mobile resource management, or workforce productivity applications on these devices."
